Meta processes information it receives according to its own privacy policies and terms.

You can learn more about Meta's privacy practices and advertising controls through Meta's Privacy Center and advertising preference settings.

4. Google Analytics and Other Analytics Services

Southern Soul Skins may use analytics services such as Google Analytics 4 ("GA4") in the future to better understand website traffic and visitor behavior.

Google Analytics is not currently represented by this Policy as an active analytics service unless and until it is enabled on our website.

If Google Analytics or another analytics provider is enabled, those services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information such as:

Some technologies are necessary for the website to function properly. Others may be used for analytics, advertising, conversion measurement, or personalization.

Categories may include:

Necessary Cookies

These technologies support basic website functionality, security, shopping features, and other services necessary to operate the website.

Analytics Cookies

These technologies help us understand how visitors interact with our website so we can evaluate and improve its performance.

Advertising Cookies and Pixels

These technologies may be used to measure advertising campaigns, understand conversions, create advertising audiences, and deliver more relevant advertising.

Where required by applicable law, we provide or intend to provide controls allowing visitors to manage non-essential cookies and tracking technologies.

Your browser may also allow you to block, restrict, or delete cookies.

Disabling certain technologies may affect some website functionality.

6. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

We may also use information for other purposes disclosed to you at the time it is collected or with your consent.

7. Email Marketing

We may allow you to voluntarily sign up to receive promotional emails, product announcements, presale information, special offers, new flavor announcements, and other marketing communications.

Marketing signup opportunities may be available through:

Providing an email address as part of a purchase does not by itself mean that you have agreed to receive promotional marketing emails from Southern Soul Skins.

You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option included in the message.

We may still send non-promotional communications when appropriate, such as messages concerning an order or customer service request.

8. SMS and Text Message Marketing

Southern Soul Skins may offer customers and prospective customers the opportunity to voluntarily receive promotional text messages in the future.

When SMS marketing is offered, we will request appropriate consent before sending promotional text messages.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing products from Southern Soul Skins.

Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.

Recipients will be able to opt out of marketing text messages using the instructions provided with the messages, such as replying STOP.

We do not treat a telephone number received solely in connection with a PayPal purchase or shipment as automatic permission to send promotional text messages.

SMS opt-in information and consent will not be sold or shared with third parties for their own unrelated marketing purposes.

Service providers that help us deliver text communications may process this information on our behalf.

9. Marketing and Customer Relationship Platform

We use or may use GoHighLevel and related service providers to manage customer communications, leads, email subscriptions, SMS subscriptions, advertising leads, and related marketing activities.

Information voluntarily submitted through a website form, Meta lead form, email signup, SMS signup, or similar marketing interaction may be processed through these services.

These providers process information on our behalf in connection with the services they provide.

10. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to companies that assist us with legitimate business operations.

These may include:

We may also disclose information as part of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of some or all of our business or assets.

11. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Southern Soul Skins does not sell personal information for money.

However, privacy laws in some U.S. states define terms such as "sale," "sharing," or "targeted advertising" more broadly than the ordinary meaning of selling information.

For example, the use of advertising cookies, pixels, or similar technologies that disclose identifiers or online activity to advertising platforms may be considered "sharing," a "sale," or processing for targeted advertising under certain state privacy laws.

Where applicable law provides you with the right to opt out of these activities, you may exercise that right through available cookie or privacy preference controls or by contacting us using the information provided below.

12. Global Privacy Control and Browser-Based Privacy Signals

Certain privacy laws allow consumers to communicate opt-out preferences through browser-based mechanisms such as Global Privacy Control ("GPC") or other legally recognized universal opt-out mechanisms.

Where Southern Soul Skins is legally required to recognize such signals, we will take reasonable steps to honor supported and legally recognized opt-out preference signals.

Browser-based signals may apply to the browser or device from which the signal is sent.

13. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and whether a particular privacy law applies to Southern Soul Skins, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to request that we:

You also have the right not to be unlawfully discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Not every privacy law applies to every business. The availability of particular rights therefore depends on your location, the nature of the information involved, and the requirements and thresholds of applicable law.

Southern Soul Skins may also voluntarily honor reasonable privacy requests even where a specific statutory requirement does not apply.

14. How to Submit a Privacy Request

You may submit a privacy request by contacting:

Email: southernsoulskins@gmail.com
Phone: (828) 569-5000

Please include enough information for us to understand and respond to your request.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests in order to protect personal information from unauthorized access or deletion.

Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by applicable law. We may request reasonable documentation verifying the agent's authority.

15. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it as appropriate.

16. Data Security

Southern Soul Skins uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should use appropriate caution when transmitting information online.

17. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

Southern Soul Skins does not control the privacy practices of those third parties.

For example, information submitted directly to PayPal, Meta, or another third-party service is also subject to that company's privacy policies and terms.

We encourage you to review the privacy practices of third-party services before providing personal information.

18. Children's and Minors' Privacy

Southern Soul Skins is intended for individuals 18 years of age or older.

We do not intentionally market our online purchasing services to children and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Individuals under 18 should not place orders through our website without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where collection is not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information as required by applicable law.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, please contact us at southernsoulskins@gmail.com.

19. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is not a single universally adopted standard governing traditional Do Not Track signals, our website may not respond to all such signals.

This is separate from legally recognized privacy preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, which may be honored where required by applicable law.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy.

Material changes may also be communicated through additional notice where appropriate.
